New Update re: Bill 33, Ontario’s ‘Gender Identity’ Bill

June 7th, 2012

.
We have just been informed by MPP Cheri DiNovo that Bill 33 will be given its third and final reading on Wednesday, June 13 at 9 AM. A vote is expected to follow directly after.

Bill 33 — or Toby’s Act — will amend the Ontario Human Rights Code to include ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression’ as protected grounds. More information on the Bill can be found here: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/bills/bills_detail.do?locale=en&BillID=2574

A Final Call to Action


If you haven’t already done so, please call, fax, or email your Member of Provincial Parliament to ask them to vote in favour of the Bill. A list of current MPPs, with links to their contact information, can be found here: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/members/members_current.do?locale=en

If you are unsure of who your MPP is, then you can locate your Riding here http://fyed.elections.on.ca/fyed/en/form_page_en.jsp and search for it in the MPP list above.

And, of course: encourage your contacts to do the same.

We wish you the best in your politicking adventures!
